hmm in reply to HandEFood;try using a trial ware copy of Disk keeper(for ntfs, fat,linux and other partitions), it is by far superior than the Defrag (lite) version that comes supplied with XP, I do a 100 gig partitioned drive in roughly 5 -10 minutes every end of session and that keeps me up to speed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
